Default Proportioning valve BA 1 tonner

Hi there, my rear brakes are getting hotter than my fronts on my BA 1 tonner, I only have about 250kg's in the back including the weight of a canopy.

Q: Is the proportioning valve on the back adjustable at all ?

Q: Can it be disconnected, seeing that its only fitted to the one tonners ?


Thanks in advance.

Prop valve is in the master cylinder but you would have a load sensing valve on the back that may be faulty ? are your fronts working?

Yeah front brakes are working but back ones seem to be doing more work than they should be, they feel considerably hotter than the front brakes.

Check that load sensing valve.
